Phyllostictosis
Rounded brownish spots appear on the foliage, which are surrounded in a circle by a narrow dark rim. As a result, tissues in the affected areas fall out and holes form on the foliage.
Fighting methods. It is necessary to cut out diseased branches and heal the wounds. To do this, use a 1% solution of copper sulfate (100 g per 10 liters of water), and cover with protective pastes or pitch.
In areas, plants and soil are treated by spraying with a fungicide solution (Nitrofen) or blue vitriol according to instructions. Garden processing should be carried out before bud break.
If necessary, Bordeaux mixture can be used to combat the disease according to the instructions, spraying is carried out at the stage of blooming of the leaf, flower bud.
Re-treatment should be carried out immediately after the end of flowering with a 1% solution Bordeaux mixture.
The third treatment is carried out after 2 weeks. At the same time, chlorine copper oxide and urea preparations are used, but before carrying out work, a test spraying of several sheets should be carried out to make sure that the solution will not cause a burn.
Clusterosporiasis
If the garden was heavily infected, then after removing the fruits, it is worth holding another autumn processing 3% solution of Bordeaux mixture.
The disease occurs throughout the plant, while the flower bud, foliage, bark and young and old branches are affected. The manifestation of the disease brown spots, the edges are darker. In the future, holes form in the place of the spots, the bark dies off, the fruit dries up, the foliage falls off. The spores of the fungus overwinter in cracks in the bark of the plant.
Methods of treatment. Carry out sanitary pruning, treat the cuts with copper-containing preparations, cover the wound with pitch or paint. Plants are treated with Nitrofen, Horus, Switch or Copper sulfate before flowering, as well as the soil.
In winter, collect fallen leaves and fruits to avoid wintering diseases.
Trutovik - False
False tinder fungi form core rot white color. Once damaged, wood tissues become soft and break easily under stress. Dark veins are visible at the site of the lesion. The mushroom itself looks like a growth Brown color semi oval in shape.
The fungus grows in places where wood rots in the lower part of the trunk, but sometimes in the crown in cracks and hollows.
Ways to fight and prevent timely whitewashing of trunks, treatment of the integrity of the bark, hollows.
And if the fungus has already appeared, it should be removed, and the wound should be disinfected with a solution of copper sulfate. But despite all the work done to remove the fungus, it can form again, then the branch on which it grows or the entire tree should be removed.
Moniliosis
The wood of the tree turns brown, the foliage withers and takes on the appearance of a fire burn.
The berries are rotting. Gray tubercles are formed on the fruit, scattered over the entire surface. This manifestation is the main difference from the defeat of fruit rot, which has special outgrowths in the form of circles, on the one hand.
Prevention remove affected berries and control pests that are often the source of damage.
Methods of treatment.
Spraying the garden in early spring before bud break with Bordeaux mixture, and after flowering it is better to use the preparation of a solution of fungicides and insecticides (tank mixture).
And also, do not forget about the prevention of plants in the fall, this is the cleaning of foliage, fruits, whitewashing trunks and digging trunk circles and spraying.
Branch death.
Growths form on the surface of the branch coral color not big size, the location of growths on the surface of the cortex can manifest itself both singly and in a group. The disease manifests itself in almost all fruit trees and shrubs. The fight and elimination of the disease consists in observing the rules for caring for plants (agrotechnics), this is timely top dressing, pruning of dry branches, insect control, etc. The cause of the disease: fungal diseases caused by high humidity during flowering. Therefore, you should not forget about the spring spraying of the garden in the form of prevention.
coccomycosis
Small red dots form on the foliage of the sweet cherry. And on the underside of the affected leaves, the same spots are only Pink colour. The foliage turns yellow, turns brown and dries when it is damaged.
The reason for the appearance of high humidity.
Treatment and prevention consists in collecting the diseased fruits of cuttings of the affected branches.
When the garden is infected in the spring, spraying with a solution iron sulphate according to instructions. After flowering is over, spend additional processing solution of the drug Horus at the rate of 1.5-2g. for 8-10 lbs of water. Subsequent spraying after twenty days.
Brown spots with a brown tint appear on the leaf surface, some of which, after the lesion, begin to curl up and then dry out.
In early spring and autumn, to prevent disease, it is worth digging up the soil around the plant to collect the remaining foliage and fruit of the body.
Treat in spring (spraying copper oxide or Bordeaux liquid) after flowering during the leafing stage and in autumn after harvest.
Cylindrosporosis
The cause of the disease is a fungus that leads to the complete fall of foliage in mid-summer, after which they fall off. Trees that have been ill with this disease, as a rule, do not tolerate winter well.
The fight against the disease is the collection of affected foliage, dried branches are removed after a complex of fertilizers is applied to increase immunity in plants.
mosaic disease
On the foliage appear yellow stripes located near the veins. The leaf develops poorly and acquires an ugly shape. After that, the foliage turns brown or reddens and falls off.
The Cherry trees themselves will noticeably weaken after the defeat.
These diseases are related to viral lesions and cannot be treated. Affected plants are usually uprooted to avoid further spread of the disease.
It is recommended to use healthy material when planting, to carry out regular treatments against insects that feed on juice.
Mosaic ringing
The appearance of this disease can manifest itself within two years in the form of the formation of first white spots visible to the light, and in the future in the form of dark rings on the upper part of the leaf, which eventually turn into holes.
Measures to prevent the appearance of this disease in the garden are the same as for infection with Mosaic disease.
This disease is not infectious. Cherry trees tend to be affected more often because they grow larger than other stone fruits.
Manifestations of the disease occur mainly on trees weakened by various wounds caused by frost or mechanical damage and recovered fungal diseases (Kleistiaspariosis or Moniliasis).
Gum treatment
Also often the causes of the disease are the growth of the Cherry on acidic and moist soils and excessive fertilization, leading to bark ruptures.
When treating wounds formed after pruning or caused by other factors, apply oil paint or apply a healing paste.
Places where there is already resin discharge should be cleaned sharp knife and moisten with blue vitriol diluted according to the instructions, then let it dry and apply paint or var to the wound.
Plants, like people, are susceptible to diseases and viruses. On cherry leaves, rusty spots appear due to fungal infections. The process of fighting spores takes a lot of time and effort, but with due diligence, leads to a healthy and tasty crop.
Spots on cherry leaves can be a symptom of a fungal disease.
Diseases in trees appear due to poor climatic conditions, oversight of the owners, lack of treatment for pests and injuries resulting from improper pruning. Exact reason The onset of the disease will help determine its type and choose the appropriate direction of treatment.
One of the main rules that ensure the health of a tree is strict adherence to the care regime for it. Cherries need to be watered, fertilized, pruned and harvested on time.
Brown or brown spots that appear on the leaves indicate not only a disease, this can manifest itself sunburn. It is formed after rain or watering under the sun. If the burn is excluded, you need to inspect the trunk and foliage for traces of manifestations of serious ailments and take care of its treatment in time.
All varieties of cherries are susceptible to fungal infection, with the exception of felt and some hybrids. First, small red spots appear on the foliage. The affected parts wither and fall off early, which causes the cherry to freeze. Spores can be seen on the back of the leaf in the form of pink roundness. The carriers of the disease survive in the most severe frosts, and in the spring they spread by wind through the nearest trees. Cherry fruits are also susceptible to the harmful effects of coccomycosis - they change shape and lose their attractiveness.
The disease is treated by spraying the trunk and branches with special means:
Disease is better to prevent than to cure. The main rule for the prevention of coccomycosis is the burning of fallen leaves. Before the beginning of the leaf fall period, cherries are sprayed with a solution of urea, and after it - with preparations containing copper. The choice of a tree planting site is considered no less important - cherries love the sun and low humidity.
The spores of this type of fungus spread during the rainy season with the help of the wind, the cherry becomes infected through the pistils. The disease, another name for which white rot, quickly covers the whole tree - fruits, flowers, branches. The first symptoms of the disease are red spots on the foliage, which give the impression that the cherry has been under fire. Later, flowers begin to fade and young branches dry out. Cracks appear on the bark, the fruits fall off, and decay processes begin in the tree.
Moniliosis requires immediate measures to save the crop. So, you need to urgently remove all the affected areas and burn them, and cover the sections with garden pitch. The tree itself must be carefully sprayed with preparations containing copper. The treatment is repeated 10 days after the first.
Preventive measures consist in the timely thinning of the cherry crown, avoiding injuries in the process. Anything cut must be burned. At the beginning of the warm period, it is advised to treat the trunk with a mixture of copper sulfate and lime. Before and after winter, the plant is sprayed with Bordeaux liquid.
Another fungal disease, during the propagation of which dark brown spots. The foliage dries out at the edges, and the fruits become tasteless and die: it is impossible to achieve a crop from an affected tree. The disease manifests itself during the flowering period, which complicates its treatment.
Spraying with Horus will help in the fight against scab. Bordeaux liquid is effective, but it can only be used after flowering has ended.
Among preventive measures, as in other cases, timely inspection, removal of infected branches, covering the trunk lime mortar and burning diseased parts. All wounds must be covered with garden pitch.
Klyasterosporiosis (perforated spotting) leads to leaf fall
The fungal infection attacks cherry foliage, producing small red or brown spots that quickly increase in size. After some time, the diseased tissue crumbles, which explains the second name of the disease - perforated spotting. Infected fruits change color and shape, and then fall off.
Treatment of clasterosporiosis is carried out similarly to the fight against moniliosis. For prevention, you need to inspect the tree and trim the damaged branches in time, covering the wounded parts with garden pitch. Twice a year, it is necessary to spray with copper sulfate in the proportions indicated in the instructions for the drug.
The carriers of the disease are coniferous plants, it spreads through the air on windy days. It is easy to notice the symptoms of the disease: brown spots appear on the foliage, resembling traces of rust on metal.
For treatment, preparations containing copper are used. Spraying should be carried out twice with an interval of 14 days. Before processing, diseased leaves and branches are removed.
Helps avoid illness correct landing- near cherries should not be coniferous plants. All diseased parts must be burned, and the tree itself should be sprayed with copper sulphate in spring and autumn.
Copper sulfate - a preventive fungicide
Spots on green cherry leaves can cause the death of a crop or the complete disappearance of a crop. You can avoid such an outcome by taking regular measures to protect the plant from the harmful effects of the environment:
Simple tree care actions will help you forget what brown spots are, maintain the health of the crop and enjoy its quality.
Noticing that spots appeared on the leaves of the cherry, you need to identify the disease and take measures to get rid of it. Important are the actions to prevent the onset of the disease, which do not take much time, but guarantee the protection of the cherry and the preservation of the taste and composition of the fruit.
Cherry is a plant that appeared about five thousand years ago. There are many places where it grows, and there are many species. a large number of. Cherry varieties can be seen in almost every garden. They are unpretentious and can grow even along the road. In our country, this plant is very popular, the fruits are eaten in any form: fresh, dried, boiled, in pies, dumplings, jams, liquors, etc. But in order to have a good harvest, you need to properly care for cherries and monitor their condition.
Diseases of cherries, unfortunately, make up a rather large list. There are a lot of them, and each is dangerous in its own way. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to recognize and treat them.
In cherry trees, all ailments can be divided into several groups:
Treatment of cherry diseases is faster if the affected areas are removed from the plant immediately.
Consider the most common cherry diseases, description and treatment:
For gardeners, the most painful topic is when insect pests begin to attack the garden:
Bacteria found in the soil can cause root cancer. And if the weather is dry, then this is even more conducive to such an ailment. Growths begin to appear on the roots of trees, from this the tree does not grow, and the seedlings die. The growths must be cut off, and the remaining roots should be treated with a 1% solution of copper sulfate. Everything gardening Tools that are used must be treated with chloramine or formalin.
Growth, or bushiness, can be attributed to fungal diseases, but many do not agree with this. Because spots, dots, corroded leaves are uncharacteristic for him. And the signs of this disease are that small colorless shoots appear. The main problem is that there are too many of them. By appearance such trees can be easily identified. Affected plants must be watered with a solution of mineral and organic fertilizers.
It is impossible to immediately answer the question of why the tree dries up, because there can be many reasons. For example, warming the root collar of a cherry. This is because the tree is planted too deep. When watering, the water in the soil gets on the neck, and it begins to rot. After a while, you will see that the tree dries. Of course, you can’t save dried cherries, but you can carry out prevention. And for this, it is necessary to water the tree not at the root, but into the grooves that are dug along the periphery of the near-trunk circle.
The tree can dry out due to bark beetles. If you look closely, you can see small holes on the branches. Immediately cut down those branches that are most covered with such holes and have a lot of gum. Next, the solution of the drug "BI-58", typed into a syringe, inject into those holes that remain on the barrel. A young tree can still straighten out, and if it is old, then it is better to cut it down altogether.
And another reason for the drying of a tree is moniliosis, which was mentioned above.
Cherry mainly begins to form an ovary when pollination occurs from flowers of the same cherry varieties. It is good if the trees bloom at the same time, since pollination by pollen is only possible for five days. The weather also affects pollination: if frosts fall below one degree Celsius, then the ovary dies. And flowers and buds die even at four degrees. Also bad for pollination. strong wind, insect pests, use of chemicals. It's good to have bees in your garden when the cherry blossoms start to bloom. You can spray the tree with sugar solution.
If the soil is acidic, then alkaline additives must be added to it, because cherry trees do not grow well on such soil.
If you managed to save your cherry trees from diseases and pests, then another enemy appears - birds. They fly into the trees and begin to peck at the fruit. To prevent this from happening, you need to take and hang shiny objects on the branches of trees, for example, foil. This will help scare away the birds. But if this option does not help, there is another one. You can buy a covering transparent material and wrap the whole tree with it. And when you harvest, you will remove the film. You can leave some berries on the tree so that the birds do not go completely without food.
Consider cherry diseases and their treatment with folk remedies.
Cherry trees need to be protected even before the disease begins to overcome them. Folk recipes will be like this:
Cherry, the fight against pests and diseases of which is very important, needs preventive measures. They are quite simple:
Even before the start of sap flow, the first preventive treatment should be carried out. First, the cherry is cut, all sections are treated with a solution of copper sulfate and covered with garden pitch. All trunks and main branches are whitewashed with lime. Then dilute 700 grams of urea with ten liters of water, treat the cherry and the place around it with this remedy. This solution will protect the tree from pests that overwintered in the trunk. But if you did not have time to perform such a treatment, then take Nitrafen or Akarin, or other analogues, and treat the trees with this solution. To make disease resistance better, it is necessary to spray the trees with Zircon or Ecoberin.
IN autumn period when the leaves have already fallen, perform a sanitary pruning of the trees. And also treat the slices with vitriol and cover with var. During the first frost, treat the trees under the crown with a 5% urea solution.
When you carry out the first treatment of trees with urea, it will also be a top dressing with nitrates. When the trees begin to bloom, you can water the cherry chicken manure, but not necessarily. Flowering has passed, and you can add manure to the soil under the tree, which then needs to be dug up. The store also sells dry nutrients. If the weather is dry, then better feeding dilute with water.
In mid-July, the bushes are treated with preparations containing nitrogen, then after another three weeks. After harvesting, apply compost or manure to the root system.
In autumn, top dressing should include substances such as potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Liming is also done in autumn. And when you dig up the soil around the trees, then add fertilizers consisting of potassium and phosphorus to it.
All varieties of cherries can be divided into three groups:
If there is no desire to remove shoots constantly, then plant trees of the third group. Well, if the tree has already been planted, then you can dig it up and insert slate around it to a depth of half a meter. Also in the fall, excess growth is cut off, the wound is smeared with garden pitch. Because just cutting branches with a pruner will not work, you will not get rid of cherry thickets that way.
In this article, we looked at the main diseases of cherries and their treatment. To achieve good harvest, you should provide the trees with proper care and monitor their health. Cherry, whose diseases and pests reduce yields and often lead to death, requires timely action to combat diseases and prevent them.
There are cherries in every garden, and, most likely, not in a single copy and not of one variety. Both adults and children love this juicy berry, you can cook delicious jam from it, preserve it in the form of compotes, alone or in combination with other fruits and berries, use it as a filling for desserts. Therefore, if you decide to start own garden, it is necessary to purchase several cherry seedlings. The article will focus on cherry diseases and their treatment.
It is important not only to plant seedlings in accordance with all the rules and provide them with proper care. Cherry is quite susceptible to various diseases, and the state of the tree and its yield will depend on how timely they are detected, how quickly measures are taken to eliminate the problem. Therefore, every gardener must be aware of the diseases that can affect this fruit tree, be able to recognize them and cure them.
Every farmer, especially a beginner, gets upset when he notices that instead of the long-awaited harvest, damage has appeared on his tree. It would seem from where? After all, the seedling was purchased as a varietal, planted on time and correctly, watered and fed regularly, but still gets sick. The causes of lesions and diseases of cherries can be as follows:
Having established the cause, you can proceed to the treatment of the disease, but not vice versa. Otherwise, the damage will return after a while and you will have to start all over again.
There are two diseases that can cause serious harm not only to the crop, but to the entire tree, and from which the cherry suffers most often: coccomycosis, after which the foliage of the tree begins to crumble prematurely, and moniliosis, which provokes rotting and drying out of the berries.
Less often, but also quite often, cherries suffer from diseases such as anthracnose, perforated spotting, gum disease. They, too, should not be ignored.

Diseases garden trees, like any other, it is easier to prevent than to get rid of them later without consequences and relapses. Because without preventive measures not enough.
The most common problem in a cherry orchard is a broken bark on a tree trunk. If you find this on at least one tree, do not waste time, take action: soak the wound with a solution of copper sulfate and cover it with garden pitch.
Open wounds on the trunk of a sweet cherry should not be ignored!
It would seem, just a crack on the bark, just think!
But if you do not pay due attention to it, without processing disinfectant solution and without smearing the affected area, then the terrible consequences will not keep you waiting.
Pathogenic fungal spores will definitely settle in it and begin their destructive effect, which is not visible from the outside. As a result, the structure of the wood will completely collapse, and the tree will break from a simple touch.
Excessive moisture is one of the main causes of cherry diseases.
There are several such reasons.
The very first and main one is waterlogging of the soil.
Rainy weather, excessive watering or the proximity of groundwater lead to the plant receiving an excessive amount of moisture. The spasmodically growing bark absorbs it, with the onset of cold weather, the water becomes ice, destroying the wood from the inside. Not only the bark, but also the roots of the tree suffer from excess moisture. If excessive moisture has a long period, then the gradual death of the root system occurs. The plant dies.
Another cause of a crack in the bark is sunburn. obtained in early spring, when the sun is especially active. According to observations experienced gardeners the bark on the southwestern side of the trunk is most prone to cracks.
How to prevent bark cracks
The crack must be urgently washed with copper sulfate and covered with garden pitch.
- The right choice of seedling for planting . choose frost-resistant varieties cherries just right for you climate zone. When planting, do not deepen the root neck, it should be 2-3 cm above ground level. Otherwise, the seedling will be delayed in development, respectively, it will not be able to withstand the cold.
- The right choice of place for planting cherries . It shouldn't be low ground where ground water lie close to the soil surface. If they are still high, make a drainage channel.
- Proper watering.
Watering
When watering, you need to know the measure!
I want to talk about watering separately. The sweet cherry experiences a special need for watering when the growth of foliage begins, usually this is the month of May. However, water no more than 2 times a week.
In June, after flowering, when fruit pouring begins, also do not forget to moisten the soil around the cherry plantings. Reduce watering when the berries begin to ripen to prevent them from cracking.
From mid-July, it is better to stop watering so as not to provoke the appearance of young shoots, as they reduce the frost resistance of cherries. But before the onset of autumn frosts, thoroughly spill the soil around the trees. This will help them survive the winter.
trunk diseases
Consider the most basic diseases of the cherry trunk. What to do and how to be? More on that below!
Gommosis or gum disease
Gommosis is otherwise called a bacterial burn.
The initial stage of gum treatment.
First signs : from the resulting oblong ulcers on the trunk and branches, gum (glutinous juice) is released in the form of transparent drops. Young shoots begin to fade, the leaves dry. If the gommosis is not treated, the tree will eventually die.
A tree can become infected with this disease when grafted or pruned. Therefore, for the purpose of prevention, with particular care, approach the choice of material for grafting and planting. If there is even the slightest sign of gommosis, destroy the seedling.
Gradually the ulcer increases.
Gommosis is also non-infectious. Often this disease affects a frozen tree. Waterlogging and “refertilization” of the soil, lack of oxygen to the root system, and mechanical damage also contribute to it. By correcting these shortcomings, you will save the plant from gum disease.
Sticky juice can also stand out on saw cuts if they are not processed.
How to treat
Carefully inspect all the bark on the trunk and branches of the cherry tree. All, even small, wounds must be treated with copper sulfate (1% solution) and covered with garden pitch.
If the defeat is too strong, cut the branches and burn.
Infection of sweet cherries with these fungi occurs mainly through unprotected sections.
If a growth resembling a hoof, yellow or dark brown, appears on the trunk of the cherry, it means that it is affected by the disease. The tinder fungus makes the wood of the tree light, soft, breaking from any gust of wind.
The same can be said for sulfur yellow tinder fungus. Its shape is somewhat different - wavy, color - light yellow, turning into brown.
How to treat
From the moment of infection to the visible manifestation, it can take several years, so it is extremely difficult to cure a cherry affected by a tinder fungus.
- very important right choice seedling, it must be absolutely healthy;
- in the spring, feed the sweet cherry with fertilizers and whitewash the trunk and large branches;
- treat the found wounds with vitriol and cover them with garden pitch.
The body of the fungus must be removed, but this must be done at a certain time - in July. The fungus is already fully formed, and the spores have not yet matured. If the fungus is formed again and again, there is only one thing left - uprooting a tree. Don't forget to burn it.
Conclusion
It is better to prevent any disease than to treat it for a long time and tediously. So prevention comes first!
